Software engineers
design and create software and often work closely with customers
Computer engineering
a unique field that overlaps with both electrical engineering and includes software engineering and
hardware engineering
What is the requirement for an entry-level computer engineer?
a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, hardware
engineering, or other related fields.
What courses must be taken to ear a degree in computer engineering or a relate field?
programming, software development, networking, electrical engineering, general education, and more
What is the largest professional society for computer engineers?
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Logic
the system of operations performed by a computer.
an integrated circuit
consists of multiple electronic circuits etched into a thin layer of silicon and enclosed in a protective
material, such as plastic
How are computers designed logically?
to break down problems or decisions into simple sets of logical decisions or reactions to situations
What are the simplest logic gates?
AND, OR, NOT
Inputs and outputs are either ____ or ____

high (1) or low (0)
An output of high indicates __
on
AND gates
provide an output of 1 only if both outputs (A and B) are 1
If both outputs are 0 or only one of the outputs is 0, then the output is
0
OR gates
provide an output of 1 if either or both of their inputs are 1
NOT gates
have only one input and one output
NOT gates are called...
inverters because they change the input
NAND gates
a combination of NOT and AND gates. They are negative gates and the results of the NAND gate are
opposite the AND gate. (If either or both inputs are 1, then the output is 0. If the inputs are both 1, then
the output is 0.
NOR gates
give the opposite result OR gates bc they are made up of an OR gate and a NOT gate. If both inputs are
0, the output is 1. If either or both inputs are 1, then the output is 0.
XOR gates
exclusive OR gates. provide an output of 1 if one input is 1 but not if both are 1

XNOR gates
exclusive NOR gate. Provide an output of 1 if the inputs are both 1 or both 0, but not if one is 0 and one
is 1
database
a structured system of storing data in a computer system
servers
computers dedicated to specific functions
algorithms
step-by-step procedures for solving problems or completing tasks
What can algorithms be used for?
analyse data, manage information on databased, drive search engines, filter spam in your e-mail,
operate "smart" traffic lights, and complete many other tasks
What is a good example of an algorithm?
troubleshooting
Computer architecture
refers to the way in which computers are designed, with a focus on the central processing unit (CPU)
and how it functions internally and accesses memory
Instruction set architecture (ISA)
deals with programming.
Micro-architecture
deals with the parts of the computer and how they are connected to allow for ISA
